NET-SPLIT · 2013–2023
One school has a directional average-net-price path over 2013–2023; the other sits in a measured range (or the two move opposite ways). Cost gaps on this board are moving targets.
- Bentley University: average net price rose +29.8% from $29,886 (2013) to $38,787 (2023), r² 0.84.
- Brandeis University: net price ranged $28,004–$37,688 across 11 years (2013–2023); endpoint change +14.6% is not a trend (r² 0.37).
- Bentley University: acceptance rate eased +10.6% across 2013–2023 (r² 0.47).
- Brandeis University: acceptance-rate path 2013–2023 stays non-directional here (r² 0.04).
